"You have to shift your mentality of trying to prove everyone else wrong, to proving yourself right. You have to turn it into positive energy and focus on what you can control."

Having done an Ironman myself in 2014, I have to admit that I thought this challenge was impossible when James first announced it.

Forget doing an Ironman, but if you've tried doing ANYTHING every day for 50 straight days, you know how hard it is to be consistent. Even if the task was as simple as flossing.

"There's always enough hours in the day for what you want to accomplish. It's just a matter of what you put a priority on."

So if you want to set a massive goal and actually achieve it, you'll want to listen to this episode of the Unleash Yourself podcast because James talks about the power of setting massive goals, how to build a team around you who's vital to your success, how to build your mental toughness so you'll never give up, and much, much more.

"Huge monstrous goals are never accomplished on their own. You need to have a supporting crew."

You'll also get a behind the scenes look at what it takes to set a Guinness World Record and accomplish something no one else in the world has ever done.

There are some incredible life lessons to be learned and you'll walk alway from this episode with incredible inspiration and energy to attack life in a whole new way.

James is an absolute beast!

"Races #16, #17, and #18 were very hard physically on me. I fell asleep on my bike and crashed. I Also lost most of my toenails."
